244 BOTANY. glabrous, with the nerves of the upper surface puberulent, cordate, with an acute sinus, broader than long, divided about | or more into 7 ovate or ovate-lanceolate, incisely dentate, aristate lobes; stipules (2-3" long) seta¬ ceously divided; petioles about J-| the length of the leaf; cymes densely many-flowered, short-peduncled, somewhat puberulent, with subulate-seta¬ ceous, entire, or the lower ones setaceously ciliate, bracts; sterile flowers ^' long, with lanceolate, aristate, usually entire calyx-lobes, half as long as the spatulate petals; 5 (or rarely 6) exterior and 3 longer interior stamens, all united to about half their length, bearing equal, linear-oblong anthers; calyx-lobes of fertile flowers broader, larger, spinulose-dentate; styles 3, each with 2 oblong stigmas; capsule obtusely triangular, oblong, J' or more long; seeds linear-oblong (4-5' long), with a large hoodlike, cut-fringed caruncle.— Sulphur Springs, Arizona, Rothrock, 1874 (546), and to Southern New Mexico and Chihuahua, Wislizenus. Leaves in the smallest specimens (Wislizenus, Chihuahua) 2' long by 2^' wide, in Rothrock's largest 6' by 8', always with 7 lobes and usually with 2 smaller additional ones at base. Evidently a form of the Mexican J. macrorhiza, and with the same curious caruncle of the seed, distinguished by the longer petioles, the much more deeply divided leaves, with more numerous and more deeply cut- toothed lobes, and an acute (not wide or truncate) sinus Torrey's, J. mul¬ tifida, Bot. Mex. Bound, p. 198' (not Linn.), is evidently the same thing, as already suggested by the author himself, and probably nearer Bentham's type than our plant, as the leaves are said to be only 3-5-lobed. Euphoebia (Anisophyllum) albomaeginata, Torr. & Gray in Pacif R. R. Report, 2, 174; Bot Mex. Bound. 186; Boissier in DC Prod. 15, 2, 30.—A prostrate, much branched, glabrous, glaucous perennial, with orbiculate-cordate, entire, rather fleshy leaves (2-3" wide) and conspicuous, triangular, membranaceous, whitish stipules; involucres axillary, solitary, or sometimes crowded into foliaceous cymules, broadly campanulate with conspicuous, white, transverse, entire or undulate appendages of the glands; capsules triangular; seeds reddish-gray, linear or oblong, smooth or some¬ times very slightly undulate.—Zuni, Rothrock (173 in part), 1874, to Fort Tejon, California (274), 1875, and generaUy from Western Texas to South¬ ern Cahfornia and into adjoining Mexico. A very distinct species, easily
